1/4 Inch Drive Extra Long Flexible Socket Driver 555 mm

The Teng Tools MD514L is an extra long flexible socket driver for 1/4 inch drive sockets and accessories, with an overall length of 555 mm (21.9 inch). Its flexible, spring wound shaft gives easier access in confined spaces, and a plastic sleeve over the shaft protects against pinching.

Use it where a fastener is a long way in and not in a straight line from where you can stand: behind an engine component, under a dashboard, inside a machine or appliance, or at the back of an equipment cabinet. Fit a 1/4 inch drive socket to the end, guide the sleeved shaft into place with one hand and turn the handle with the other.

The ergonomically designed bi-material handle is made for easy use with higher torque and faster speed. A hole in the handle lets you hang the driver up, use it as a T handle socket driver for extra torque, or attach a fall protection wire when working at height. Teng Tools lists it with a tethering facility and a T-drive facility.

Compared with fitting a flexible extension to a ratchet, there is no joint between handle and shaft to come apart and no ratchet head to find room for, as there is with a separate flex extension. The driver weighs 244 g (8.6 oz).

What you get: 1 x 1/4 inch drive extra long flexible socket driver, 555 mm (21.9 inch). Sockets are not included.

• EXTRA LONG FLEXIBLE REACH, 555 MM (21.9 INCH): A long reach flexible socket driver with an overall length of 555 mm (21.9 inch). The flexible, spring wound shaft gives easier access in confined spaces, so a 1/4 inch drive socket on the end can follow a curved path to a fastener that a straight driver or rigid bar cannot line up with.
• The spring wound shaft is protected by a plastic sleeve to avoid pinching, so you can steady and guide it with your free hand while the other hand turns the handle. It works like a 1/4 flexible extension and a handle in one tool, with no ratchet to fit and nothing to come apart halfway down a gap.
• An ergonomically designed bi-material handle for easy use with higher torque and faster speed. Spin small nuts, bolts and screws in or out quickly the way you would with a 1/4 spinner handle, then grip harder to seat or break them loose, all while the socket works out of sight at the far end of the shaft.
• The handle has a hole for hanging the driver on a hook or board, for use as a T handle for extra torque, or for a fall protection wire if you need one when working at height. Teng Tools lists it with a tethering facility and a T-drive facility, useful where tools used at height have to be tied off.
• The drive end takes 1/4 inch drive sockets and accessories, sold separately. If you have been shopping for a flexible socket extension, this is that reach with its own handle built on. It weighs 244 g (8.6 oz), light enough to hang on a board or carry in a tool roll alongside your screwdrivers.
